Yoga is an ancient practice with well-established physical and mental health benefits. It improves posture, joint mobility and muscle tone; it alleviates stress and fatigue; it improves focus and mental clarity; it aids in sleep. It is also overwhelmingly our most requested activity, and we want to ensure it is something you all have access to as a method of self-care.

We’re very fortunate to have partnered with Ali Yousefi (Alex), a PhD student and experienced yoga instructor, who has agreed to run weekly yoga and meditation sessions for postgrad students throughout the year free of charge. He’ll be running these in the Clubhouse beneath Bar on the Hill, every Friday from 11am til 12pm. It’s a healthy, relaxing and productive way to end your week, so be sure to take a break from your studies and come along.

All you’ll need to bring is something to stand/lie on, such as a yoga mat, towel or blanket.
